No Strings Attached

A closer look at the story

Emma is a hard-working doctor with a hectic schedule. So she makes her closest friend Adam what seems like a flawless proposal: a purely physical relationship with a single rule, no getting attached whatsoever. At first the arrangement feels easy and comfortable to both of them. But as time goes on, both of them begin to realise that they want more out of the deal. When a casual affair threatens to turn into a genuine relationship, the real question arises: can they get through it without wrecking their friendship? Directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Elizabeth Meriwether, the 107-minute 2011 film stars Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Kline and Greta Gerwig in a romantic comedy.
